Pros

opportunity to work on cutting edge technology, do important work

Cons

personnel are not valued at all. We read in the newspaper about how profits are going up, meanwhile, we are told that all raises are on hold for 3 years. People are used up and tossed aside. As a result we are entering 5-7 year projects with no one on board who has ever done a start to finish project. Leadership has no connection with those who are designing and building.

Pros

Remote Work, Flex Schedule, Benefits are decent enough.

Cons

It is very much a boys club between management, leads, and HR. HR is there to protect the company, not you. The moment you have something crazy happen (and you will because most people in positions of power are old retired navy guys who cant even work a computer usually and would rather praddle on about "the good ole days") and you report it to HR, you immediately will be retaliated against, even when HR says you wont. Its tough to say how you wont when they immediately inform your supervisor. I also hate how they are an "inclusive" company, and yet I have been called more slurs and received more backlash for being LGBT when its not even being presented, I just want to log in, work, ask questions, log off.
